Commentary
Financial review
The Kaap Agri summary report provides an overview of the activities, results and financial position of the Group for the year ended 30 September 2018.
The Group specialises in trading in agricultural, fuel and related retail markets in Southern Africa. With its strategic footprint, infrastructure,
facilities and client network, it follows a differentiated market approach. In support of the core retail business, the Group also offers financial,
grain handling and agency services. Kaap Agri has over 200 operating points located in eight of the nine South African provinces as well as in Namibia.
Operating environment
The agricultural environment remains heavily impacted by climatic conditions in the various areas in which we operate as well as foreign exchange
volatility. Policy uncertainty, especially with regard to expropriation without compensation, has negatively impacted capital investment and
expansions in the agricultural sector. On the retail side, the consumer environment further deteriorated during the latter part of the financial
year, driven by severe fuel price increases, the VAT increase and rising inflation. The ongoing diversification of Kaap Agri has mitigated these
impacts to a degree, with strong real revenue growth experienced across all income streams.
Financial results
Kaap Agri increased revenue by 2,1% to approximately R6,55 billion, up from R6,42 billion in the previous financial year on a statutory basis.
However, as shown in Annexure A on a pro forma basis, revenue increased by 8,1% with like-for-like comparable growth of 6,9%. This growth in
revenue was driven mainly by a 12,1% increase in the number of transactions. Product inflation is estimated at 5,1% but excluding the large
inflationary impact of fuel in the revenue basket, inflation was -0,1%. The strong revenue growth during exceptionally tough trading conditions is
reflective of our ongoing diversification and resilience. Retail sales growth continues to outperform agricultural sales growth, albeit from a
lower base; and for the first time the retail income channel generated trading profits in excess of the agriculture income channel.
During the period five new and managed retail fuel sites were opened with total Group fuel volumes increasing by 18,4% in the year.
The Fuel Company ("TFC") grew fuel volumes by 15,8% on owned sites and by 38,5% when including managed sites awaiting regulatory approval. Further
TFC site acquisitions are at various stages of conclusion. Additional sit-down as well as on-the-go food offerings were added to further complement
existing retail fuel site offerings. Our upgraded retail format was rolled out to four Agrimark stores and a number of smaller upgrades and
expansions were completed within the Agrimark and Pakmark environments. This continuing investment in the business is essential to deliver
sustained revenue growth going forward. New Agrimark footprint expansion opportunities are being investigated.
Gross profit has increased by 0,9% on a statutory basis. However, as shown in Annexure A on a pro forma basis, gross profit increased by 5,0% but
at a rate lower than revenue growth. The impact of higher margin retail sales has been offset by the increased contribution of fuel sales at lower
margins. Fuel prices have increased by between 17,2% (petrol) and 23,1% (diesel) compared to last year with lower regulated margin growth, thus
significantly reducing the margin % on fuel revenue as well as the overall Group margin %.
Expenditure increased by 0,7% on a statutory basis. However, as shown in Annexure A on a pro forma basis, expenditure increased by 6,7%, above
gross profit growth and with the largest spend being on people and variable sales related costs. Further cost has been incurred in improving our
supply chain capabilities in support of our strategic drive to increase and improve our retail offerings. Cost management remains a focus area
within the business.
The Kaap Agri (Namibia) ("KAN") business has benefitted from the combined strength and offering of the two joint venture parties and is steadily
contributing to an enhanced customer experience through improved execution and product ranging. The performance of this business is expected to
improve over the medium term.
Interest received grew by 2,7%, a result of a higher average debtors book driven by increased credit sales. Interest paid increased by 19,1% due
to additional gearing of R230,9 million to finance capital expansion and the acquisition of operations.
EBITDA grew by 6,9%, outperforming the growth in recurring headline earnings ("RHE"), due to the impact of depreciation and interest paid resulting
from ongoing expansion and acquisition activities.
The Group's effective tax rate of 27,8% is in line with expectations (2017: 27,5%).
RHE grew by 1,7%. We estimate the drought impact on Wesgraan and agri-retail to be 11,3% of the targeted 15% growth with a further 6,5% impact due
to regulatory delays in the retail fuel environment. The remainder of the business grew by 4,5%.
RHE per share of 354,10 cents have grown by 0,7% on last year, resulting in a five year compound annual growth rate of 14,1% until 30 September 2018.
Once-off items, predominantly costs associated with new business development, are excluded from headline earnings to calculate RHE. Return on
revenue has reduced to 3,8% from 4,1% last year, largely impacted by fuel price increases and the increased mix contribution of lower margin fuel.
Operating results
Income growth from the Trading division, which includes the Agrimark retail branches, Pakmark packaging material distribution centres, mechanisation
services and spare parts was down 0,3% year on year with operating profit before tax increasing by 9,4%. The impact of equity accounting KAN
negatively impacted income growth by 9,5%. Improved agri and retail margins have been partially offset by agricultural related fuel sales at
reduced margins.
Significant growth was realised in TFC with income growing 30,1% and operating profit before tax increasing by 34,5%. This division is expected to
continue reflecting ongoing strong growth.
Wesgraan, which includes grain handling and storage of grain and related products, seed processing and potato seed marketing, was heavily impacted
by the drought and lower wheat volumes and income dropped by 38,2%, resulting in a decrease in operating profit before tax of 54,5%. This
performance is expected to recover to normalised levels in the new year off significantly improved wheat harvests.
Irrigation manufacturing, also impacted by drought conditions in the Western Cape but partly offset by positive agricultural conditions in the
northern parts of the country, grew income by 3,2% and operating profit before tax by 2,8%.
The Corporate division, which includes the cost of support services as well as other costs not allocated to specific segments, represents 1,4% of
turnover (2017:1,7%).
Treasury income, which represents the net internal interest received less interest paid, decreased by 18,5% due to increased gearing used for
expansion and growth purposes.
Financial position
Capital expenditure of R245,1 million was incurred during the year. Of this, R126,8 million was directed to capacity expansion while a further
R3,8 million was spent on replacement assets. An additional R114,5 million was spent on the acquisition of business operations.
Working capital has been well controlled. Although debtors have grown slightly above the increase in credit sales, this has been due to select
payment extensions granted to a small number of producers who have been severely impacted by the drought. The financial strength of these
producers, assisted by an improved current year yield, is expected to allow for a full repayment within the first six months of the new financial
year. Adequate securities are held on these producers.
Stock days have remained relatively constant year on year, supported by higher retail and fuel sales contributions and the increased participation
of our centralised distribution centre. Creditors' payment terms have increased marginally. Return on net assets has decreased to 9,7% from 10,6%
last year, the result of lower current year earnings growth and continued investment in the business. This is expected to improve going forward as
earnings recover and grow in line with our strategic plans.
Net interest-bearing borrowings increased by 31,6% to R961,6 million, largely due to the impact of capital expenditure to support growth and the
increased debtors book as well as timing of cash flows at the 2017 year-end. Average borrowings increased by R82,2 million year on year. The Group's
debt-to-equity ratio, calculated on average balances, decreased to 50,9% (2017: 51,1%) with net debt to EBITDA of 2,0 times (2017: 1,6 times) and
interest cover of 5,5 times (2017: 6,9 times). Gearing is within appropriate levels, with sufficient facilities available to enable medium-term
growth and access to adequate additional financing facilities, if required. Return on equity decreased to 15,2% (2017: 16,6%), but remains above the
targeted minimum level of 15%.
The Group continues to generate strong cash flows from operations and significant investment has been made back into the business to support growth,
in terms of increased capital expenditure and acquisitions.
Dividend
A gross final dividend of 84,70 cents per share (2017: 82,60 cents) has been approved and declared by the Board from income reserves, representing a
2,5% increase on the previous year. The final dividend amount, net of South African dividends tax of 20%, is 67,76 cents per share for those
shareholders not exempt from dividends tax. Including the interim dividend, the total dividend for the year ended 30 September 2018 of 116,70 cents
per share (2017: 112,00 cents) increased by 4,2% over the prior year and has grown at a compound annual growth rate ("CAGR") of 18,5% over the past
five years. The total dividend per share represents a dividend cover of 2,9 times (2017: 3,0 times).
The salient dates for the distribution are:
Declaration date Thursday, 29 November 2018
Last day to trade cum dividend Tuesday, 12 February 2019
Trading ex dividend commences Wednesday, 13 February 2019
Record date to qualify for dividend Friday, 15 February 2019

Share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between Wednesday, 13 February 2019 and Friday, 15 February 2019, both days inclusive.
Outlook
Agricultural conditions in the Western Cape have largely improved year on year and farm dam levels are in a good position. Currently the outlook for
a vastly improved wheat harvest and a normalised year in the fruit and vegetable environments is positive. The wheat harvest commenced in late October
and indications are positive regarding total yield and quality. Conditions in the northern regions of the country are encouraging. The issue of
expropriation without compensation is having an impact on confidence as well as expansions in the agricultural space.
Retail sales and general retail performance remain under pressure with glimpses of improvement starting to emerge. The November and December trading
performance, being strong retail months, will give a better indication as to whether a sustained retail recovery is underway. Weakening exchange rates
will negatively impact product and raw material imports.
The past year has been a challenging one, but our various growth strategies have partially mitigated the impact of the drought. We have continued on
our path of selective strategic revenue generating expansion and acquisition and immersed ourselves in the customer experience to ensure that sustained
and mutually beneficial engagements and relationships will continue. We believe that the continued focus on our strategic goals will contribute to the
business recovering from the subdued 2018 performance and we remain on track to achieve our strategic medium-term plan growth targets of a minimum 15%
CAGR in RHE at a minimum ROE of 15%.
Events after the reporting date
Subsequent to year-end, Kaap Agri acquired the majority shareholding in Partridge Building Supplies (Pty) Ltd ("PBS") which trades as Underberg Forge in
Southern KwaZulu-Natal ("KZN") Midlands. PBS trades under three divisions: Forge Agri, Forge Build and Forge Trans. This acquisition provides Kaap Agri
with an entry point into a new geographical region, KZN, as well as an additional business stream in the pasture-based dairy sector. This is fully
aligned with our strategic intent to do more business, in more places, with more customers and with more products generating increased revenue.
The Group also obtained control of three retail fuel stations, two purchased from C-Max Investments 71 (Pty) Ltd and one from Edopax CC. The acquisition
dates for the businesses were during October and November 2018.
There have been no other events that may have a material effect on the Group that occurred after the end of the reporting period and up to the date of
approval of the summary consolidated financial results by the Board.
Appreciation
The Board of directors records its appreciation for the continued support and loyalty of the Group's employees, shareholders, customers and suppliers.

Notes to the summarised consolidated financial statements
for the year ended 30 September
1. Basis of presentation and accounting policies
The Group's preliminary summarised consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2018 have been prepared in accordance with the
requirements of the JSE Limited ("JSE") for summary financial statements, and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa, Act 71 of 2008,
as amended, applicable to summary financial statements. The Listings Requirements of the JSE require summary financial statements to be prepared in
accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and the SAICA
Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and the Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting
Standards Council and also, as a minimum, to contain the information required by IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".
The Group's summarised consolidated financial statements is an extract from the audited information, but this summary report has not been audited.
The Group annual financial statements for the year were audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc., and their unmodified audit report on this set of
information, is available for inspection at the company's registered office. The Group's auditors have not reviewed nor reported on any comments
relating to prospects.
The directors take full responsibility for the preparation of the summarised Group financial statements and that the financial information has been
correctly extracted from the underlying financial records.
The Group's summarised consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2018 were prepared by GC Victor CA(SA), the Group's financial
manager under supervision of GW Sim CA(SA) the Group's financial director.
2. Accounting policies
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Group financial statements from which the Group's summarised consolidated financial
statements were derived, are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with those accounting policies applied in the preparation of the previous Group
financial statements.
3. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
In preparing the Group's summarised financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies
of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the Group annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2018. The
estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the
next financial year are discussed below.
Provision for impairment of trade receivables
In estimating the provision for impairment of trade receivables, management makes certain estimates and judgements relating to the estimated recovery
rate of debtors who are deemed to be impaired. This includes an assessment of current and expected future payment profiles and customer specific risk
factors such as economic circumstances, geographical location and the value of security held.
4. Fair value estimation
Financial instruments measured at fair value, are disclosed by level of the following fair value hierarchy:
- Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
- Level 2 - Inputs (other than quoted prices included within level 1) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or
indirectly (derived from prices); and
- Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The only financial instruments that are carried at fair value are derivative financial instruments held for hedging.
The fair value is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the
current bid price (Level 2).
Level 2 hedging derivatives comprise forward purchase and sale contracts and options. The effects of discounting are generally insignificant for
Level 2 derivatives.
The fair value of the following financial instruments approximate their carrying amount at the reporting date:
- Trade and other receivables
- Loans
- Trade and other payables
- Short-term borrowings
- Finance lease liabilities

To assess for impairment of goodwill, a value in use calculation was done per CGU. Income and expenses were increased at the expected inflation
rate and a discount rate of 11% to 15% was used depending on the CGU's specific risk profile. No impairment was recognised, with no indicators that
the calculation is sensitive to reasonable change in assumptions. The most significant CGU being Total Clayville (carrying value: R37,8 million),
Engen Clayville (carrying value: R31,9 million) and MBT Brits (carrying value: R35,9 million) calculated with discount rates of between 11% - 15% and
terminal growth rates of between 7% - 10%.

Contracted 71 956 74 250
These commitments have been approved by the Board of directors. The commitments will be financed by own and borrowed funds.
12. Business combinations
In line with the Group's growth strategy to acquire businesses in the fuel sector, certain retail fuel operations and accompanying retail fuel
properties were acquired. Goodwill on acquisition was paid on these businesses as the price is competitive in the context of other retail fuel
operations and the business combination presents synergies within the Group and have further earnings potential.
A purchase price allocation as required by IFRS 3 - Business combinations was provisionally performed and no material intangible assets were
identified, other than fuel site operating licenses, which are recognised with the property that it relates to as one asset as these assets have
similar useful lives.
The Group does not disclose revenue and profit of the combined entities as if the acquisitions occurred at the beginning of the reporting period,
because the Group does not have access to the relevant information before the Group obtained control over the businesses.
The Group acquired the following assets through business combinations:
Total Clayville service station on 1 July 2018
Engen Clayville service station on 1 August 2018

13. Events after reporting date
In line with the Group's growth strategy to acquire businesses in the fuel sector, certain retail fuel operations and accompanying retail fuel
properties were acquired after year-end.
Two service stations were purchased from C-Max Investments 71 (Pty) Ltd. The acquisition dates for the two businesses were during October and
November 2018 respectively. Goodwill is recognised based on the expected synergies from combining operations with the acquiree. The purchase
consideration of R84,9 million will be paid through issuance of shares in a subsidiary company.
A service station (Total Summit Road) was purchased from Edopax CC. The purchase consideration of R52,9 million was paid and treated as a prepayment
in the current year.
In terms of IFRS 3 Business Combinations the purchase price of the transaction will be allocated to tangible assets (mainly property, plant and
equipment and other net assets) and the balance will be allocated to goodwill. At the date of the publication of the audited consolidated results,
the acquisition date fair values of acquired net assets have not yet been determined.

As announced on SENS on 3 August 2017, the company disposed of 50% of its interest in KAN, which was previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
company. In terms of International Financial Reporting Standards, Kaap Agri's remaining non-controlling interest in KAN is equity accounted from
1 August 2017, while it was consolidated prior to this date. To allow for a meaningful comparison, the commentary and pro forma adjustments regarding
revenue, gross profit and expenditure have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and on the basis of the consistent treatment of KAN as an
equity investment for both the years ending 30 September 2017 and 30 September 2018.
The pro forma financial effects are presented in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements, the Guide on Pro Forma Financial Information issued
by SAICA and the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards. The accounting policies applied in quantifying
pro forma adjustments are consistent with Kaap Agri's accounting policies at 30 September 2018. The pro forma financial information is the
responsibility of the directors and has not been reviewed or reported on by the company's external auditors.
An assurance report (in terms of ISAE 3420: Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information) has been issued by
the Group's auditors in respect of the pro forma financial information included in this announcement. The assurance report is available for inspection
